Drinks

Neotame is of great stability, do not affect products’ features including drinks’ flavor,color after batch production, high temperature short time(HTST) sterilization and aseptic operation

Neotame’s sweetness can be kept in cola carbonated drinks as long as 4-5 months, it can be applied in juice, vegetable juice and low alcohol wine, improve the taste and flavor of drinks, can also be applied in solid powdered beverage like lemon tea and milk powder.

Daily Products

Researches shows that, when this kind of products’ shelf life come to an end, the neotame in it only decrease for 2%, which has merely effect to the product.

Neotame is suitable for batch production, high temperature short time(HTST) sterilization and aseptic operation, the final products containing neotame maintain stable concentration,especially for yogurt products, which can apply neotame to enhance its flavor.

Neotame do not involve in fermentation, cannot affect the growth of normal fungus, so it can be widely used in dairy products like yogurt and cheese. It is stable in condition of PH 4.0-4.5.In the process of fermentation,neotame is stable,and its replacement of part of sucrose reduce the calory of the product, increase the nutritional value latently(milk replace part of sucrose volume), thus consumer can get better products.

Starch, protein foods

Neotame can be mixed with other nutrition and non-nutrition sweeteners. It can resist starch’s deceasing, prolong the products’ duration. Also can resist protein denaturation and keep good flavor in rich protein foods.

Feed

Neotame can effectively masking saccharin’s aftertaste bitter, improve feed palatability. Daily feed consumption of livestock determines the growth, especially young pigs, suckling pig feed intake, affecting livestock entire growth process, thus improving the palatability of feed, especially suckling pig, young pig feed palatability resistance can increase their daily intake, thus speeding up their growth rate. Livestock, especially young pigs, piglets are more sensitive than the human palate.
